About 50% of the world’s GDP is moderately or highly dependent on nature , so disruption to direct operations or supply chains could be widespread across business sectors as diverse as agriculture, manufacturing and real estate.

Healthy nature results in resilient ecosystems, the foundation of a resilient planet and society and are essential to our future. The financial benefits that nature provides cannot be understated. For example, mangroves act as natural flood defenses, reducing annual property damage by about $65 billion and protecting more than 15 million people . Yet nature and biodiversity are often undervalued or not considered at all, with only 5% of large businesses around the world assessing and disclosing their nature-related impacts .

At É«¶à¶àÊÓÆµ we have worked with to assess the impacts and dependencies of seven priority sectors on nature, and how they translate into business risks and opportunities.

Nature Risk Insights

We hope that the Nature Risk Insights report will be a useful tool for all those that play a role in managing nature-related risks. For example:

  • Risk managers can use this report to begin thinking about how their business may be at risk without access to the ecosystem services that nature provides and develop risk mitigation strategies. It can also be used as a starting point for internal discussions around corporate sustainability goals, beyond annual sustainability reports.
  • Sustainability managers can use this report to build internal awareness of material nature and biodiversity topics and the implications of not addressing them.
  • Financial service professionals can use this report to educate themselves on how the industries they invest in or provide insurance cover for impact the environment, and potential risk mitigation products and services that may be able to support clients.

Overall, this report aims to:

1. Improve companies’ understanding of nature-related risks for a select list of industries and how they might impact their operations;

2. Showcase actions that are already available to reduce negative impacts on nature and promote nature protection and restoration; and

3. Highlight tools and practices to begin assessing nature-related risks and opportunities.
